Dervish

Legendary Irish band Dervish will be playing in Canterbury for Folk in the Barn, on Saturday 23rd November 2024 in the Colyer-Fergusson Hall at the Gulbenkian Arts Centre, University of Kent.
Legendary Irish folk music band Dervish are one of Ireland's best-known traditional bands and are described by the BBC as “an icon of Irish music”.

Dervish received a prestigious lifetime achievement award from the BBC in 2019, a fitting tribute to the band after over 30 years of recording and performing all over the world, playing at festivals from Rio to Glastonbury.

Dervish have a line-up which includes some of Ireland’s finest traditional musicians, fronted by one of the country’s best-known singers, Cathy Jordan. Regarded by many as the most distinctive voice and finest front-woman in Irish traditional music today - the instrumental line-up of fiddle, flute, bouzouki, mandola, bodhran and accordion draw from seemingly limitless depths of talent, finesse, subtlety and fiery energy. Exceptional musicianship, breath-taking vocals, vibrant sets of tunes and instantly compelling songs all come together to make Dervish as complete a band as are to be found anywhere.
